Concept is fun and game HAD potential but towards mid to end game, its design limitations starts to seep and surface. Key issues ruin the immersion and limit the potential of the game - mainly on the economy design. The matchmaking aspect is really fun but as the populace grows, the game becomes a heavy micro city management without much pay-off. * Limited buildings/job slots means you can't really expand, if there was an option to pay more for slots it would help * Not much ways to spend resources once you've stockpiled enough, at a certain point once you've scaled, not much to do and limits repeatability/replay value * The most important resource for fun- the hearts - for matchmaking is the hardest to earn even as you have more couples/scale * Youth always need mentorship/apprenticeship * People can't stay single even at old age? * Why at 18 they need a house? They can still stay with their families until they get married! So much potential, novel concept, fun at the start, but fizzles out quickly. Buy at sale only. No more dev support at this point.

It's a good game if you're looking for a mix between the Sims, Kitty Powers' Matchmaker, and Fallout Shelter. Keep in mind that the Developers are no longer working on the game which is a huge disappointment. Now, this does not mean that the game feels unfinished...I think it's fine as is. But I think it'd be perfect with that extra love that developers will continue to feed into their projects even after it is considered done. I love life sims and family/colony managements. This game is like Fallout Shelter injected with the Sims. I just love (almost) everything about this game. Really hits the spot for me. I love seeing what traits the kids will inherit from their parents and the little stories I can make up in my head from the different randomly generated events. That said, I was deeply saddened to find out that the developers had dropped the game. It's lovely as it is, but could really flourish into something more if the team continued to put out updates. I'd love more cosmetic customization, like freckles and vitiligo. More hair styles would be nice, not that there isn't a lot, I just love customization. That being said, if you're looking for a game in which you can keep track of and control each villager, this is not your game. Once you progress further, it's very easy to lose track of your villagers, and I normally end up focusing more on the economic side of things. Overall, good game. The art styles so cute and the UI is easy to navigate. I really just wish Ishtar Games would continue to improve the game. Honestly, there really isn't anything like this currently on the market and I would really love to see more like this.

Absolute shame the dev abandoned this game because its so cute and so much fun. I think they could have done so much more with it! Definitely worth a play, but I recommend grabbing it while on sale.

This is surprisingly addicting! I think there's more to it than I am aware of, but I overall feel that this is a simple game to grasp and have fun with. I wish that after each game, you had stats: oldest villager, number of assassinations, couple that had the most children, etc. For replayablility, I think that after 5 or so games, I'm not really sure what else to do. Events are random so I don't feel I have much control to make each game very unique.

As a lover of social simulation and strategy games, I do enjoy Lakeburg a great deal (as demonstrated by my 140+ hours of game play at the time of writing this). You're free to customize certain aspects of your villagers including their hair, facial features, and names, and you can marry them off to suitors of your choice (the Matchmaker is a unique feature that I've never really seen in a game before). I appreciate the need to pay attention to the traits of villagers you recruit and wed to each other, as these affect how well they will perform at their assigned jobs, and these traits can be passed on to their children as well. This presents an interesting strategical challenge. I will say that this may not be for you if you're looking for "infinite" game play. Sure, there is an endless mode, meaning the game won't end after X amount of in-game years. However, there is a limited tree of unlockable buildings/careers, and the special events begin to feel repetitive after a while, but unfortunately, I don't believe the devs will be adding more content. That being said, I still recommend this game if you're looking for something "cozy" to play for a couple hours. If you work from home and you're having a slow day between projects/tasks, this is an easy and entertaining way to pass the time.
